Vermentino Bolgheri D.O.C.

Vermentino 100% (selection of Vermentino clones from Corsica)

 

This is a 100% Bolgheri Vermentino. Its name expresses the close bond between this Mediterranean grape variety and the terroir of Bolgheri: in essence, it is the result of our hard work in vineyards and the ripening effect of the sun. This wine is a special favourite of Marilisa Allegrini. It embodies the colours, fragrances and flavours of these lands that lie so close to the sea.

Climate Trend

 

The 2006 vintage is one of the most important in Bolgheri. The weather throughout the seasons was very even and there was a warm and sunny spring after a rather harsh and rainy winter. However, a delay in the vine’s budding was not averted by the warm spring. The vegetative development proceeded regularly, guaranteeing the formation of proper leaf coverage during the flowering period, which was slightly delayed in comparison to the average. The bud set was good, thanks to minimal rainfall in June and July, while the absence of water in August did not jeopardise optimal veraison. Fortunately, temperatures were never exceptionally high, which allowed for the conservation of water reserves which were necessary for optimal aromatic development and productive potential. The phenological phases followed one another with consistency during the summer. The harvest began towards the end of September and the grapes were perfectly healthy, well-concentrated, and had excellent aromatic maturation.
